Would you play Burton forward before playing Lord? I reckon it’s not a bad idea.

Kind of reminds me of Nathan Buckley his balance, hard to tackle, damaging kicking and strong in the air.
Boak was everywhere tonight, blue chip performance from the young fella.
Too busy at the Falls Creek Charcuterie Board Festival I presume.

Fair comparison but I would give Buckley the edge at the same age his kicking was absolutely elite.
Should go on next year, still in our top performers.
Their F50 entries were deplorable. They blew that game so badly.
MCG was shiet.

Thought both Sweet and Dixon worked out that Gawn was cooked in the fourth and just ragdolled him out of the rucks (legally)
We beat the umps today too, no doubt about that. Watch this play again and please tell me where the free kick is. Considering the stakes and the time remaining of the game, nothing has convinced me more that there was a directive to try and make Melbourne win this game.
For us to overcome both the umpires AND Melbourne away at the MCG to me speaks volumes, I've never been confident we're about to do damage in September but this is it. Finally. On the back of JHF he will 100% carry us across the line this year.
This is it. We are finally ready.
Here's the worst free kick you'll ever see by the way, umpire has absolutely plucked this out of thin air. Gawn and Sweet have equal hold over each other and he blew the whistle before Drew even laid a finger on Oliver, not that the resulting contact warranted a free anyway.
This is just absolute incompetence.

You know whats funny if Oliver put in the pre season work he was more than capable of running down Butters during his running goal. Had semi intent but goes to show failure to prepare if preparing to fail
Also props to JHF. Got into a fracca with petty i think it was but didnt overstep the line as he has in the past. Maturity.

Lol Oliver has zero chance of chasing down butters in an absolute flat out sprint unless maybe he's on an electric scooter

Yeah look, I admit I was like 8 beers deep and I apologise for my amateur filming but I still had the presence of mind to see that wasn't a free kick in any way shape or form.
Honestly I don't think the filming was actually that bad, I intentionally focused initially on the ruck contest, then I highlighted the Oliver-Drew contest, I tried to get an overall view as well. But nothing stands out as a free kick there. To me the most interesting part was the umpire wasn't even looking at Oliver when he blew the whistle, so it must have been for Gawn. But you can't tell me seriously that Gawn and Sweet didn't have equal hold of each other there.

The most egregious error is portrait mode

Yes that is common practice in ruck contests these days. Umps generally don't pay those . Both players holding each other. Then there were the 2 holding the man frees against us in the last that just don't get paid nowadays. It was like watching the maggots in the cheating SANFL.
And sheezel wasn't even playing

1. Umps disgraceful
2. Gawn albeit so many free kicks really dominated Sweet, and gave them the clearance result and contested possession count, as they kept getting first hands on the ball.
3. I want Pickett. I like his aggressiveness.
4. Missed Georgi terribly
5. Also missed SPP - this is the kind of game he is needed.
I think this is a good lesson of a game without losing, and it should level us out after last weeks high. Absolutely need to be tougher in the contest.
